Only the poots (and Trump enthusiasts) could come up with the logic that someone who shot and missed is guilty of committing a homicide that was found, in fact, to have been justified.

The same logic that declares Finicum a "cowboy" and his five acres a "ranch," even though he said his main income was milked from taking in children.

Astarita may have lied out of fear of the armed Bundy cult. Who knows. In a way, I wish he'd been found guilty to show that "actions have consequences." But on the other hand, if the blatonly guilty Bundy cult can go free, so can he. I doubt he has a career left with the FBI.

(Spell check really wants to fix "blatonly," so how did it get through?)

As is so often the case with poots and trumpers it would seem that spell check must be disabled and / or ignored. I wonder if it is a "you're (spelled your) not the boss of me" thingy? My spell check didn't like poots or trumpers.

Jaime Noel This is insane they put the bundys and other ranchers in prison without due process. And some how this idiot was clearly at fault gets no prison time for a blaton murder

Jennifer Doornbos My heart hurts for you with this verdict. Have your attorneys start looking for Brady violations, which they should have been doing during the trial. This really needed a change of venue. I pray for more resolution and a civil case that goes your way. If I can be of help let me know. Prayers

Brady violations who knew the US Constitution required the government to turn over exculpatory evidence to a non-litigant in a case where the defendant was acquitted?

This is probably the funniest thing I have ever read here on The Fogbow in a long, long time.

Oh you silly lawyers making things blatonly confusing. Brady violations are bad things done to Poots. Therefore, since Astarita was trannically acquitted of murder (unconstipationally disguised as making falsy statements and obstruction of justice), there must have been Brady violations.

My spellchecker is currently weeping.

Reading Ammon's latest "wisdom" on his Facebook page his instruction to his cultists is very clear:

"Do not misunderstand me... those defending their life, liberty or property have a right to use force in that defense, even lethal force if necessary and even against those that call themselves law enforcement officers. This right belongs to every person equally."

He is preparing his followers for the next "hard stand" and he doesn't intend it to be peaceful.

I want the next Bundinista v LE interaction to play out like Dead Bob's Last Stand but in a state where they have felony murder laws.

I recently listened to the audio from inside LaVoy's car. Every time I've heard it I am just shocked at the reaction to LaVoy's death, particularly the reaction of Shawna Cox. She makes a single statement of outrage...then absolutely nothing. Nothing from anyone in that car regarding their "friend" who was laying dead out in the snow.

Of course, when it became useful for them to express rage over it, they were all over that like stink on poop.

Almond knows that his old Bunkerville and MNWR buddies are itching for a fire fight. He's stirring them up. There is zero chance that Ammo himself will carry a weapon or lead the charge in any way, though. He'll stay above the fray and he'll make it difficult for the government to pin anything on him, no doubt about it. He prefers that others spend years in prison.

That's definitely the Bundy MO. They are good at instigating and getting others to take the real risks. A few of the earlier Bundy enthusiasts have figured this out. But, there is always a steady supply of gun nuts. The Bundys tapped into that and figured out in a hurry that many of these people are ripe to do more than practice target shooting in the woods. There may well be more LaVoys and Burlesons out there at some point.

I reported the comment for "credible violence." Everyone do the same. Facebook is still Alex-Jonesing the Bundy rhetoric, but lets keep the screenshots to throw around once their inaction leads to an incident, again. I'd really like to have a solid timeline for how Facebook's inaction allows for the recruitment of extremists an the eventual damage.
For instance, it should read somethibng like "August 11th, 2018, multiple people report Ammon Bundy for threatening police officers in a Facebook post, Facebook finds it does not violate their standards..."
And so on and so on right up until the point that someone gets hurt. I really just want to be able lay it out one of these times and say "Look Zuckerberg, you had all these chances to do something, you didn't." Help me out if you can.

Well, duly sworn law enforcement officers derive their just powers from the consent of the governed (some nice turn of phrase that I read in a document somewhere...), and we the people authorize those authorities to blow your seditionist ass away if you threaten their lives.
